Clacin uses

Clacin consists of Ampicillin, Cloxacillin.

Ampicillin:


Pharmacological action

Clacin is an antibiotic of semisynthetic broad-spectrum penicillin group. This medication has a bactericidal effect by suppressing the synthesis of bacterial cell walls. Clacin (Ampicillin) is active against aerobic gram-positive bacteria: Staphylococcus spp. (with the exception of strains producing penicillinase), Streptococcus spp., Enterococcus spp., Listeria monocytogenes; aerobic gram-negative bacteria: Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Neisseria meningitidis, Escherichia coli, Shigella spp., Salmonella spp., Bordetella pertussis, some strains of Haemophilus influenzae. Clacin (Ampicillin) destroyed by penicillinase. This drug is acid-resistant.

Pharmacokinetics

After oral administration Clacin (Ampicillin) is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. This medicine is distributed in most organs and tissues; crosses the placental barrier, poorly penetrates the BBB. When inflammation of the meninges, BBB permeability increases dramatically. 30% of Clacin (Ampicillin) is metabolized in the liver. This medication is excreted in the urine and bile.

Why is Clacin prescribed?

Infectious-inflammatory diseases caused by organisms susceptible to Clacin (Ampicillin): including ear infections, throat, nose, odontogenic infections, bronchopulmonary infections, acute and chronic urinary tract infections, gastrointestinal infections (including salmonella, cholecystitis), gynecological infections, meningitis, endocarditis, septicemia, sepsis, rheumatic fever, erysipelas, scarlet fever, infections of skin and soft tissues.

Dosage and administration

The dosing regimen of Clacin is set individually depending on the severity, localization of infection and sensitivity of the pathogen.

For adults for oral administration a single dose of this medication is 250-500 mg, the multiplicity of the reception is 4 times / day. The dose for children weighing up to 20 kg is 12.5-25 mg / kg every 6 hours.

For IV and IM using the single dose for adults is 250-500 mg every 4-6 hours; for children the single dose is 25-50 mg / kg.

The duration of treatment depends on the localization of infection and features of the disease.

The maximum oral daily dose for adults is 4 g, for IM and IV administration - 14 g.

Clacin contraindications

Infectious mononucleosis, lymphatic leukemia, increased sensitivity to Clacin (Ampicillin) and other penicillins, abnormal liver function.

Using during pregnancy and breastfeeding

Perhaps the use of Clacin during pregnancy if it may be needed. Clacin (Ampicillin) is excreted in breast milk in low concentrations. If necessary to use Clacin (Ampicillin) in the lactation period it should be solved the issue of termination of breastfeeding.

Category effects on the fetus by FDA - B.

Special instructions

In the course of treatment with Clacin (Ampicillin) there is need the regular control of renal function, liver and peripheral blood picture. Patients with impaired renal function requires correction dosing regimen in accordance with the values of CCr.

When used in high doses in patients with renal insufficiency it may be toxic effects on the CNS.

For using of Clacin (Ampicillin) in patients with bacteremia (sepsis) it can be bacteriolysis reaction (Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction).

Clacin drug interactions

Simultaneous administration of Clacin (Ampicillin) with bactericidal antibiotics (including aminoglycosides, cephalosporins, cycloserine, vancomycin, rifampicin) there is manifested synergism; with bacteriostatic antibiotics (including macrolides, chloramphenicol, lincosamides, tetracyclines, sulfonamides) - antagonism.

Clacin (Ampicillin) enhances the effect of indirect anticoagulants by inhibiting the intestinal microflora, reduces the synthesis of vitamin K and prothrombin index.

Clacin (Ampicillin) decreases the effect of drugs in the process of metabolism which produce PABA.

Probenecid, diuretics, allopurinol, phenylbutazone, NSAIDs decrease the tubular secretion of Clacin (Ampicillin) which may be accompanied by an increase in its concentration in blood plasma.

Antacids, glucosamine, laxatives, aminoglycosides slow down and reduce the absorption of Clacin (Ampicillin) Upha Corporation. Ascorbic acid increases the absorption of Clacin (Ampicillin).

Clacin (Ampicillin) decreases the effectiveness of oral contraceptives.

Clacin in case of emergency / overdose

Symptoms: the toxic effect on the central nervous system (especially in patients with renal insufficiency), nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, impaired water and electrolyte balance (as a consequence of vomiting and diarrhea).

NADA 055-058, Approved by FDA

Caution:

Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian.

Description:

Clacin (Cloxacillin) (cloxacillin benzathine) for Intramammary Infusion into the Dry Cow is a product which provides bactericidal activity against gram-positive bacteria. The active agent, Clacin (Cloxacillin) benzathine, is a sparingly soluble salt of the semisynthetic penicillin, Clacin (Cloxacillin). Clacin (Cloxacillin) is a derivative of 6-aminopenicillanic acid, and therefore is chemically related to other penicillins. It has, however, the antibacterial properties described below, which distinguish it from certain other penicillins.

Each 10 mL disposable syringe contains Clacin (Cloxacillin) benzathine equivalent to 500 mg of Clacin (Cloxacillin) activity in a stable peanut oil gel. This product was manufactured by a non-sterilizing process.

Storage:

Do not store above 25°C (77°F). Do not freeze.

Action:

In the non-lactating mammary gland, Clacin (Cloxacillin) (cloxacillin benzathine) provides bactericidal levels of the active antibiotic, Clacin (Cloxacillin), for a prolonged period of time. This prolonged activity is due to the low solubility of the Clacin (Cloxacillin) benzathine and to the slow-release oil-gel base. This prolonged contact between the antibiotic and the pathogenic organism enhances the probability of a bacteriological cure.

Clacin (Cloxacillin) is not destroyed by the enzyme, penicillinase, and therefore, is active against penicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus. It is also active against non-penicillinase-producing Staphylococcus aureus as well as Streptococcus agalactiae.

The class disc, Methicillin 5 mcg, should be used to estimate the in vitro susceptibility of bacteria to Clacin (Cloxacillin).

Indications:

For the treatment of mastitis in dairy cows during the dry period.

Clacin (Cloxacillin) has been shown by extensive clinical studies to be efficacious in the treatment of mastitis in dry cows, when caused by Streptococcus agalactiae and Staphylococcus aureus including penicillin-resistant strains.

Treatment of the dry cow with Clacin (Cloxacillin) is indicated in any cow known to harbor any of these organisms in the udder at drying off, or which has had repeated attacks of mastitis during the previous lactation, or is affected with mastitis at drying off, if caused by susceptible organisms.

Dosage for Dry Cows:

Infuse the contents of one syringe (10 mL) into each quarter following the last milking. See Directions for Use.

Directions for Use:

Clacin (Cloxacillin) (cloxacillin benzathine) is for use in dry cows only. Administer immediately after the last milking. Use no later than 30 days prior to calving.
